Suman(29 of 19 balls) looked good for a big score, but gave his wicket away to Trivedi, The loss of Rohit Sharma's wicket just at the stroke of strategic time out pushed Deccan to the edge of misery. The wicket of Symonds who was going great guns scoring 30 of just 19 balls just after the strategic time out came as a big blow, but a stellar batting performance from Dwyane Smith helped Deccan set a target of 167 for Rajasthan. Smith scored 47 runs from 32 balls and was involved in crucial partnerships with Chaminda Vass(20 from 15 balls) and Venugopal Rao(12 from 7 balls).

Smith, Carseldine, Ojha and the big hitting Yusuf fell without contributing much to the total and total reading 74/4 in the twelveth over nothing looked to go right for the Royals. The innings of Asnodkar was the only consolation for Royals. But with Asnodkar falling after making a patient 44, all the hopes of Royals were lost. The Rajasthan Royals were finally bowled out for 113 and lost the match by huge margin of 53 runs.
